your headlines are viewable on that network automatically, including from most cell phones if you use AIM or MSN. It works with AIM, ICQ, YIM and Jabber.Using AvantGo, I knew it was easy to send to a Palm device, I've seen a tool to read RSS in iCal. Structured mark-up of text seems to make it easy to format the item to the user's liking and method of reading. Structured mark-up of text also has implications for cataloging.
